The bandit Tang Hanyun intercepted the female soldier and planted it in the woman's body
On New Year's Day in 1951, Jiandaoping, Fenghuang County, Hunan. The bandit leader Tang Hanyun was tried and sentenced to death. However, due to lack of experience, the PLA was not able to kill with one sword.
Tang Hanyun mocked: "You can't even kill the people who are tied up, are you still considered soldiers?" His arrogant and hideous expression was accentuated by the blood. Why is Tang Hanyun so arrogant?
This starts with the long-term banditry in Hunan.
On the afternoon of August 4, 1949, 37 generals of the Hunan Army led by the national generals Cheng Qian and Chen Mingren jointly issued an uprising telegram to the whole country, announcing that they would officially break away from the national ** and that their 130,000 people would cease the war.
On the evening of the second day, the 138th Division of the 46th Army of the 12th Corps of the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army entered Changsha City in three ways. Hunan was thus declared peacefully liberated.
But this does not mean the success of the cause of Hunan's liberation. At that time, there were as many as 260,000 armed bandits in Hunan Province. Among them, there are more than 170 bandits who have gathered hundreds or thousands of people to operate.
These bandits are armed all over Hunan, especially in western Xiangxi. The task of liberating Hunan is arduous and the task is arduous and there is a long way to go.
In the western part of Hunan, that is, in the western part of Hunan Province, this vast land is crisscrossed by the two major mountain ranges of Xuefeng and Wuling, and the two major water systems of Yuanshui and Caoshui, and the geographical environment is complex and diverse.
Historically, due to its complex terrain, barren land, and frequent natural disasters, it has always been a breeding ground for bandits. According to historical records, since the Song Dynasty, bandits in Xiangxi have been continuous.
In the ** period, officials and bandits colluded, and the people suffered greatly. What's more, the men, women and children here are unable to farm and weave in the wilderness, and the old and infirm are starved to death in the streets and ravines, and the prime of life can only flee in all directions.
However, with the peaceful liberation of Hunan, the remnants of the Nationalist Army, the police, habitual bandits, and the Self-Defense Forces were incorporated into temporary armies and divisions, lurking in the mountains and rivers of western Hunan Province, forming a chaotic situation in which there were many bandits, many guns, and too much opium.
They often looted caravans and passing ships, damaged roads and bridges and wires, and even attacked the Chinese People's Liberation Army, killing local cadres and mass activists.
In September 1949, in order to help the people of Xiangxi, who had suffered greatly from banditry, the Fourth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army ordered the permanent troops stationed in Xiangxi to carry out anti-bandit operations.
In January 1950, the 47th Army, which returned to Xiangxi from Sichuan, established the Xiangxi District Party Committee, the Xiangxi Administration and the Xiangxi Military Region in Yuanling to comprehensively lead the work of suppressing bandits.
Tang Hanyun is a big bandit in the Zhijiang area of Xiangxi, he used to be a soldier in his early years, but due to strict military discipline and uncertainty about his life and death, he chose to desert and organized a bandit gang in his hometown of Alaying Town.
In Fenghuang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province, there is a place that belongs to the town of Araying. It is adjacent to Xinchang Township, Liaojiaqiao Township to the east, Tongren Township, Guizhou Province to the west, Chatian Township to Ciyan Township to the south, and Luchaojing Township to Duli Township to the north.
At the beginning, Tang Hanyun chose this place as his base camp because he was familiar with the terrain and it was easy to hide. But as time went by, Tang Hanyun found that blindly hiding would only sit still, and he and his team couldn't even eat.
Therefore, they decided not to dodge anymore, but to take the initiative. In early April 1950, the People's Liberation Army besieged Lijiadong, the old nest of the Guzhang bandits, Zhang Ping, and successfully eliminated more than 2,000 bandits and seized more than 2,000 guns.
Despite the great danger they faced, Tang Hanyun and his team decided not to hide, but to bravely stand up against **.
When Tang Hanyun learned that the bandit suppression force had captured the bandit leader, he knew that he could no longer sit idly by. He decided to take action, but his action ended in failure.
Tang Hanyun cooperated with another group of bandits to carry out a sneak attack on the squadron of the Panxin District of the People's Liberation Army. But unfortunately, their combat effectiveness was much inferior to that of the regular army district squadrons, and even if they carried out a sneak attack, they did not take advantage of anything.
Tang Hanyun, who realized that the situation was not good, could only escape with his team. This defeat made Tang Hanyun feel very annoyed, and he vented all his anger on the people along the way.
The bandits robbed 13 cattle and other belongings of local farmers, and when passing by the grave of Commander Wang, who died in the suppression of bandits, Tang Hanyun even ordered the graves to be dug up and the bodies of the martyrs of the bandits to be burned, committing heinous evil deeds.
In the early days of the rescue, Fenghuang County received a shocking news, which immediately attracted the attention of the county party committee and county. In order to combat Tang Hanyun's arrogance, Fenghuang County** immediately issued a wanted warrant to search for Tang Hanyun throughout the county.
At this time, Tang Hanyun had already retreated to his lair, and he knew that what he had done had completely angered him, and there was no room for return. So, he restrained his bandits and told them to hide obediently, waiting for an opportunity to fight back.
In June 1950, Tang Hanyun received news that several trucks carrying cloth would pass through Zhijiang on the 23rd to Panxin District. Hope immediately ignited in his heart.
Since these are trucks carrying cloth, there will certainly not be too many people to do the protection. In this way, it is possible for them to successfully rob the shipment. Moreover, for almost two months, they have been hiding from the front of the bandit brigade, so they desperately need a victory to boost morale and also solve the problem of feeding everyone.
In order to ensure the success of this operation, Tang Hanyun took out all his belongings. Little did he know, however, that a misunderstanding would undo everything he had planned.
On June 23, 1950, Tang Hanyun and more than 500 of his men hid on the side of the hill where the truck had to pass, waiting for the target to appear.
Soon after, they saw two trucks approaching, one in front of the other. Tang Hanyun was very excited, according to the plan discussed before, they only needed to wait for the truck to enter the firing range, and then they could make a surprise attack, eliminate the driver and cargo escorts, and thus obtain all the goods.
So that they can live a big life again, with big fish and big meat, and live freely. However, when the order to attack was issued, Tang Hanyun found that the actual situation was not as smooth as he expected.
The other side has at least a dozen guns, and the marksmanship and speed of the response show that they are formally trained soldiers, so why do they need to be escorted by troops to transport two truckloads of cloth? This may seem unconscionable, unless ......Unless there's something more important than cloth on the truck!
The idea excited Tang Hanyun, but the stubborn resistance of the PLA fighters prevented him from getting close to the truck for a while.
Although the female soldiers of the art troupe are very brave, in fact, the PLA soldiers on the truck are even more anxious. They found that it was not a truck transporting cloth, but a vehicle loaded with actors from the Guizhou Art Troupe.
The actors went to Songtao County for a condolence performance, and after the mission was completed, they returned to Guiyang in this truck. Since most of the actors in the art troupe are women, the local ** sent a 12-member escort team to protect them.
However, the truck was attacked by bandits after entering the Zhijiang area. Despite the fact that there were 86 actors in the art troupe, they were unable to fight the bandits because they were unarmed.
Therefore, the convoy, while fighting with the bandits, helped the personnel on the first truck to transfer to the second. At the same time, they also organized their team members to occupy favorable terrain to deal with the attack of bandits.
The PLA fighters fought on a rapid march from daylight to dusk, and the two sides remained deadlocked. Tang Hanyun had suffered losses from the People's Liberation Army, so he was not in a hurry to attack.
Despite their numbers, they are willing to be patient, after all, they have the good stuff on the transporter. At the same time, the convoy is doing its best to support. After four or five hours of fighting, seven of the convoys had already been killed, and the ammunition was almost exhausted, and they hoped to be able to drag it out until dark, when they could take advantage of the opportunity to break through.
At this point, everyone was focused around the second truck. Seeing that the first truck was unguarded, the bandits rushed down the hill in impatience, and they rushed to the first truck, completely ignoring the fighters of the escort.
The convoy certainly did not miss this excellent opportunity to attack, and after a burst of strafing, the 180 bandits who were the first to rush down the hill were shot and killed. As a result, the bandits did not dare to act rashly, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
Tang Hanyun encountered two trucks on a rugged mountain road, and he thought it was reinforcements from the People's Liberation Army, but in fact they were the real targets he wanted to rob. However, due to the delay there, he was no longer able to distinguish the true identities of the two cars.
He felt that his army was in danger, because the dozen or so soldiers before were not so easy to deal with, and he had lost a lot of soldiers. He could not allow such a thing to happen, so he immediately ordered a retreat.
In this battle, Tang Hanyun suffered heavy losses, he fought against 12 PLA soldiers with 500 men, did not get any benefits, and also lost nearly half of his brothers, including his two cousins.
This made Tang Hanyun's hatred for the PLA and the people deeper.
The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, after which the Movement to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began. During this period, Tang Hanyun entangled other bandit forces to attack Fenghuang County many times, but all of them failed due to the heavy ** blows of the bandit suppression brigade.
Although he was defeated repeatedly, he had no way out and could only choose to continue fighting. In early October 1950, he and nearby bandits formed an armed force of more than 1,000 people, and targeted the attack on the Niulang District in Songtao County, Guizhou Province.
The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and in the end, under the combined efforts of the bandit suppression brigade and the militia forces, Tang Hanyun's bandit team was dispersed, and all the bandits died and fled.
Tang Hanyun himself escaped with only a few henchmen. From then on, he no longer dared to show his face easily, but played hide and seek with the bandits, using his familiarity with the nearby terrain to evade pursuit.
At the end of December 1950, PLA fighters searching for bandits in the mountains had not found any clues for several days. Tang Hanyun, who was hiding in a ruined temple in Duxin Township, had not eaten a full meal for several days, and his desire to survive drove him to find a way out.
So, in the early morning of December 25, he knocked on the door of Wang Songyun's house. Tang Hanyun chose Wang Songyun for two reasons: one is that Wang Songyun's house is close to the ruined temple where he is hiding, and the other is that he and Wang Songyun were soldiers together and have some friendships.
However, it was Wang Songyun's wife Yao Bamei who opened the door, and when she saw this person outside the door, she couldn't help but start to wonder.
On this cold winter, a man claims to be his husband's comrade-in-arms, but he is dressed in such a way that it is impossible to associate him with a beggar. His clothes were tattered, the colors were blurred, and his eyes occasionally showed ** and impatience, but this should never be the look that a beggar should have.
Yao Bamei guessed that he might be a bandit who had not been exterminated. Faced with such a situation, Yao Bamei knew that she couldn't ** this man with her own strength, so she had to find a few helpers to deal with it.
After Yao Bamei discussed countermeasures with the People's Liberation Army militia, she warmly invited Tang Hanyun into the house, but lied that she was going out to fetch water and quickly returned to her sister's house. Brother-in-law Yang Shengchang immediately began to plan after listening to Yao Bamei's story.
In order not to startle the snake, he asked Yao Bamei to continue to pretend not to know and go back to the house to stabilize the visitor. Then, Yang Shengchang arranged for Wang Laosheng to go to Wang Songyun's house to find out the identity of the person who came on the pretext of borrowing fire, and Wang Laosheng had traveled to the north and south to see the world, and Yang Shengchang wanted to confirm the true identity of the person through him.
After Wang Lao left, Yang Shengchang found Tian Xi and Wang Su, who were good friends with him, to discuss the next plan. As soon as they finished discussing, Wang Lao sent back and brought a shocking news: the uninvited guest of Wang Songyun's family was Tang Hanyun, who was wanted by the county.
Hearing the news, Yang Shengchang and the others were very excited, and they immediately took action according to the previously agreed plan.
Tang Hanyun sat in a warm room, drinking hot tea, enjoying the thoughtful service of others, but he didn't know that he had **. He looked at the stranger who walked in outside the door, his heart was alert, and he wanted to take out the gun, but he was quickly controlled by Tian Xi and Yang Shengchang, and Wang Su took the opportunity to search for his pistol.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still accepted the cigarette pouch handed by Tian Xi and enjoyed their hospitality.
At the Xiangxi Victory Heroes Congress, a generation of bandits Tang Hanyun was finally won by the legal net. After he was ambushed, his head was hung on the city gate tower at the north gate of Phoenix County for public display.
By the end of 1951, the large-scale struggle to eliminate the remnants of the bandits came to an end, and the struggle against bandits in Xiangxi won a decisive victory. In order to commemorate the outstanding achievements of the 47th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army ** Xiangxi bandits, the Xiangxi Administration held a meeting on December 26, 1950, and decided to rebuild Zhongshan Park during the original anti-Japanese period on Wutong Mountain in the north of the old county town of Yuanling into Victory Park.
On January 25, 1988, the people of Hunan Province renamed Shengli Park as Yuanling County Martyrs Cemetery, and in the same year, it was named Xiangxi Bandit Martyrs Memorial Park, which was listed as one of the 18 key martyrs memorial buildings in Hunan Province, and was listed as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
In March 2009, the memorial park was listed as a national key martyr memorial building protection unit.
The Xiangxi Bandit Martyrs Memorial Park is a memorial site for the commanders and fighters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and local workers who bravely sacrificed their lives to liberate Xiangxi and defend the country. Six monuments are erected in the four memorial pavilions in the memorial park, which are inscribed with the names of 1,005 heroes who died in the fight against bandits.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people come here to pay tribute to these martyrs and pay silent tribute to their heroic deeds and noble spirit.
